This is disturbing. Why can't the Pistons just send a proper videographer to actually capture the tape? Why are they relying on "internet videos" to keep track of the progress of players in their D-League affiliate?

Are you joking? I think it's kind of cool that the coaches are watching Macklin's games online. Paying someone to duplicate work that is already being done seems silly.

The Show is back in shape and on the Pistons roster. He reveals his secret on how to average ~20 boards a game:

“I just took a part of a lot of our front-court guys, like Max (Jason Maxiell), Body (Ben Wallace), Greg (Monroe) and those guys, and just chased the ball,” Macklin said. “Every time I saw it come off the rim, I just tried to locate the ball and go up there and rebound and get it.”

For Macklin, Frank has long said he would use the second-round draft pick before the end of the season, but only had one practice to look at him since his return. "When he came back you can make a fairly convincing argument he was the best player at practice, in terms of what he put into it and his commitment," Frank said.
